Sunil Gavaskar backs Yuvraj Singh, Virender Sehwag

Batting legend Sunil Gavaskar was confident that Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag can still make a comeback into the Indian side.

On Sehwag Gavaskar said: “I think he is happier with the ball coming on to the bat. If you have opened the batting for such a long time, it is a little bit difficult waiting in the dressing room, waiting for your turn to go to bat. The best move for him would be to go back to batting at the top. The new ball will come on to the bat, he can try and score off it. The other thing is that clever captains will confront him with spin straightaway.

On Yuvraj he said: “In cricket, nothing is impossible, You have one good season, one outstanding season and you can come back. It is up to Yuvraj to show that he has got the burning desire for it. I think he has. And he has just had a bad season. Hopefully he could come back because he adds so much to the Indian team.”
